Masters would not tell of any con nection he is alleged to have had with a similar company in Texas. He was very reticent in discussing any of the affairs of the Albemarle compa ny and seems to think the papers have done him a grave injustice in “injur ing the sale of certificates at Albe marle.” Sibley Hears From Friends. Sibley said he knew many business men in Charlotte and throughout the state. "Vv ith hif> brother he started the Albemarle Manufacturing Compa ny, at Albemarle, so he said, and con ducted this business until a few years ago. The site of the Albemarle Devel opment Company is located on whit Is known as the Sibley estate. “My brother, R. L. Sibley, who is in busi ness in Albemarle, came to S€e me yes terday,’’ said Sibley, “and I will be able to prove that my connections with the company have been legiti mate. There ought to be some law to prohibit the newspapers injuring a man by printing untruthful articles abotit him.” Further than this Sibley would not discuss the company. He carefully evaded questions that would tend to bring out the nature of the enterprise. About three years ago there show ed up in Albemarle a man who gave hi& name as Dr. W. C. Irwin. He nego tiated for 100 acres of land near Albe marle and gave out a statement to the effect that the company would build a sanitarium hotel, and make a resort the like of which would not be surpassed even by Pinehurst. Agents were scattered through the United States, selling lots for $12 each. The purchaser was given a certificate of stock in the company and after the sale of all the lots a drawing was to be held. No specified time was ever named for this drawing. The business of the Albemarle De velopment Company extended through 12 or more states, including all the Southern states east of the Mississip pi river. The amount collected from each investor ranged from $12 to $4S. The hundreds of persons interested (included bankers, ministers and mer chants in almost every small town in i Georgia, which has l)een more sys- Itematically canvassed than any other state, and in perhaps one-half of the ) small towns and cities of South Caro-1 lina, Alabama and Mis&issippi. The operations of the promoters, while not so extensive in other states, embraced a number of the towns and cities in Tennessee, Louisiana, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia. The Albemarle Development Com pany has never been chartered in North Carolina and exists only upon pamphlets circulated very freely by Ma&ters and Sibley. A prospectus that is in the hands of the postoffice in spectors gives a glowing account of the work that lias been done towards the erection of a sanitorium and a hotel, etc. But the man who has been to Albywarle knows that during the past two years only a very little work has been made of building a hotel and a small dam has been built across- a very small stream. One with a vivid imagination, it is declared, can see sail boats upon the lake. Arid looking still further there are scores of hand somely gowned women and smartly dressed men promenading upon beauti ful walkways. Literally a tiny stream trickles ’neath a make-shift dam. and a few waving trees and a dilapidated build ing meet the eye of the purchaser of a certificate. Inquiries are coming from all parts of the country regarding the company. Writing from Princeton, W. Va.. Mr. M. G. Harper, cashier of the Virginia Railway, inquires of Mayor Hawkins something about the company. He holds a certificate and wants to know if the company is a fraud. He will be informed of the facts by the postofflce people. Mother’s Joy never fails to cure croup and pneumonia. For sale by R. H. Jordan & r.o Government Troops Led \ Continued from Page One.

Biograph’s latest feature picture, Amuse U today. Committees Hard At Work The commiliees appointed by Mr. C. O. Kuester to convass the city in behalf of the interurban car line sys tem spent two busy days Saturday and today. They are to roi)ort at the Greater Charlotte club this afternoon at 5 o'clock. P'our committees were ap pointed to raise the balance of the balance of the $300,OuO necessary to authorii:e the beginning of the work and to secure the signature of the shippers of the city to the contract on the promise that they will give the new road one half of their business. It is anticipated that there will be no difiiculty either in securing the re mainder oi' the necessary $300,000 or in securing the promise of the ship pers to give the new road 50 per cent of their business. It is so obviously a clear and attractive business prop osition that the average business man will see at once an immense advan tage to himself, little matter what his line of business may be. One of the strongest reasons as to why the shippers and others should lend their united and hearty support to the proposition-was advanced by a leading business man this moi-ning. “There is one thing,” he said, “that should make every Charlottean rush to accept the overtures of the Piedmont syndicate at once. It is something that is not mentioned in the contract, but something that will mean almost as much to the city as to the entrance of the interurban line itself. That ques tion will also be largely decided by ttie action of the shippers in Charlotte to day. The shops that must be erected to install and keep this immense inter urban system in operaton sihould be located at Charlotte. Charlotte is cen trally located as to the whole interur ban system and it should be seen to ] that the shops are located here. ! “That question,” he continued, “is not u)) for discussion now and no sug gestion has been given the public as to the location of the shops, but never theless a great deal depends on wiiat Charlotte does today as to whether the shops will be located here are not. When the time comes to select a site for such a plan it w'ill be remembered whether Charlotte showed an inter est in the movement commensurate with size and v.'ealth or whether she appeared rather indifferent about it. ; The number of signatures attached to that contract will also be taken as an index as to the interest Charlotte has taken in the matter and it will j redound to Charlotte’s growth and wel- j fare immensely if she sends in the ‘ largest number of shippers’ signatures of any city in the circuit.” ESCAPED V^'TH HIS LiFE “Twenty-one years ago I faced an awful death.” writes M. B. Martin, Port Harrelson, S. C. “Doctors said I had consumption and the dreadful cough I had looked like it, sure enough. I tried everything I could hear of, for my cough, and was under the treatment of the best doctor in Georgetown, S. C. for a year, but could get no relief.

But when Policeman Luckey captur ed Whitby, it was an unlucky moment for the aforesaid hard-working man. 7 here was no pursuer within a square. Nevertheless Whitby was loudly yell ing for prctection and was unquestion ably, so the policeman said, under the influence of whiskey. Lee said he had a knife open and wanted to frighten W’hitby. Both were alloweil to go with the payment of cost. Lee telephoned for his father but the ansv/er was thac the gentle- mand had started awaj' from homo on a protracted visit.
